Fixed Box Network Camera Overview

The Brickcom FB-100A series offers a reliable and efficient solution for 24-hour video

surveillance. The FB-100A series offers highly efficient H.264 video compression, which

reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality.

M-JPEG and MPEG-4 are also supported for flexibility.

With the megapixel progressive sensor and removable IR-cut Filter, this series delivers

extremely clear and detailed images that CCTV cameras cannot offer. The internal

SD/SDHC memory card slot allows for local storage, which prevents data loss if the data

connection is lost. Users can view live feed anywhere by internet browser or 3G mobile

phone. Also, the FB-100A series can transmit the video to portable devices through other

technology, such as WiMax, NAS, Digital Frame and power line.

The FB-100A series receives power through the same cable as for data transmission. This

makes installation easy because there is no external power supply needed.

For easy setup, the FB-100A series offers a step-by-step installation package. “Easy

Config” makes the configuration simple even for users without an IT background.

With IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless compliance, network installation is not restricted by

location or landforms. The WFB-100A series can be installed in any location with wireless

coverage. It can easily be used to cover remote districts and historic spots.

In addition to the motion detection function, the FB-100Aa (advanced) Series can also

support Intelligent Video Analysis which can be used for applications such as object

tracking, people counting, and forbidden region alarm.

power and Ethernet source. The camera can either be connected to a PoE-enabled switch

or a non-PoE switch.

A. If using a PoE-enabled switch:

1. Use a single Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the PoE-enabled switch.

B. If using a non-PoE switch:

1. Use a standard RJ-45 cable to connect the camera to a PoE Injector.

2. Use a standard RJ-45 cable to connect the PoE Injector to the non-PoE switch.

3. Use a standard power cable to connect the PoE Injector to a power outlet.
